The Lake County Sheriff’s Office will conduct special patrols this Super Bowl weekend to keep impaired drivers off the roads and encourage motorists to wear their seat belts, according to a statement released by the office on Thursday.

Sheriff John Idleburg said in the statement that statistics show the NFL’s final weekend has a negative impact on the roads.

“Traditionally, we see an increase in those getting behind the wheel intoxicated following the Super Bowl,” Idleburg said. “It is very important we all work together to keep drunk drivers off our roads. All it takes is a game plan. Before you go to the party, make a plan for a safe ride home.”

Authorities are asking residents to call 911 if they see someone driving who appears to be impaired, if the call can be placed safely from a vehicle.
